I needed to write about it in a way that countered the romantic ideas. When my brother, who followed me into the army, was killed in Vietnam, it was a rude awakening. 'As a seventeen-year-old, having seen all of the John Wayne movies, I eagerly joined the army. 'My thinking about war has changed over the years,' says Walter. And in the twenty years since Fallen Angels was published, Walter has received hundreds of letters from kids and families touched by war - and this is one of the things that inspired him to write a companion novel about the new war of our times.

His brother was killed in Vietnam, and his oldest son is a career officer. Sunrise Over Fallujah is a novel that is deeply personal to Walter. Through Robin's account, we begin to understand the realities behind the headlines - about the horror of war, and what war means to young people and their families. Now, in Sunrise Over Fallujah, set in 2003, Walter introduces us to Robin 'Birdy' Perry, Richie's nephew, a kid from Harlem, who comes face to face with war's ugliest sides - and recounts this in letters to his Uncle Richie. In Fallen Angels we met seventeen-year-old Richie Perry, a soldier in the Vietnam War. Twenty years later, Walter wrote a riveting contemporary companion, Sunrise Over Fallujah, that again shows the devastating personal realities of war. Walter Dean Myers's stunning Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel, Fallen Angels, about the Vietnam War, was published in 1988.
